In March this year Cafe Oto founder Hamish Dunbar
was awarded £25,000 via the Genesis Prize. That money went into an
Associated Artists Programme, announced this week. Oto
have selected five UK musicians to work with over the next 12
months, developing collaborations and projects, plus providing the
facilities for them to present new work. The inaugural associated
artists are violinist Angharad Davies, sound artist Rie Nakajima,
composer and improvisors Tom James Scott and Alex Ward, plus double
bass player Guillaume Viltard.

Watch a video of a Rie Nakajima piece below. More details on
individual artists here.
